Elulmesh
Elulmesh (fl. late 3rd millennium BCE) was the fourth Gutian ruler of the Gutian Dynasty of Sumer mentioned on the Sumerian King List. While there is virtually no surviving evidence dating from this short timespan (thought to correspond with the first Gutian inroads into Akkadian territory), it has been suggested that this Elulmesh is to be identified as the same as the Akkadian king Elulu, also known from the King List.[1][2] Elulmesh was the successor of Shulme. Inimabakesh then succeeded Elulmesh.
